1 Carbon black in its pure form is a fine black powder, essentially composed of elemental carbon. It is produced by partial burning and pyrolysis of low-value oil residues at high temperatures under controlled process conditions. Carbon black is mainly used to strengthen rubber in tires, but can also act as a pigment, UV stabilizer, and conductive or insulating agent in a variety of rubber, plastic, ink and coating applications. Apart from tires, other everyday uses of carbon black include hoses, conveyor belts, plastics, printing inks and automotive coatings. Source: Birla Carbon

CHALLENGE

Guide the project from x to z in 275 days

  • Leadership desired to a) know if a potential sale / leaseback analysis would yield the same results as a previous internal analysis and b) engage a program manager to guide the organization through a renovation of the approximately 53,000sf office that would allow the organization to decrease its operational footprint and potentially lease out any remaining space.
  • The building had not had a major renovation or even major updates since it was constructed in 1998. Not only was there a need for renovation, the organization of various types of working spaces and collaborative spaces needed to be updated to current expectations as well as provide flexibility for the inevitable changes in the future of workplace.

SOLUTION

  • LDG Consulting utilized all three major service lines in a seamless manner from start to finish (Real Estate Advisory, Program Management, and Construction Management)
  • We initially led the search for a real estate consulting firm with deep access to corporate sale / leaseback data that would provide a comparative set of data for a robust and deep analysis. The results of the analysis were overly compelling that in 2023, the financial benefits of doing a sale / leaseback, either pre- or post-renovation, were not significant enough given the complexities of the attached R&D lab and transitioning to being a lessee in the office space. The client moved forward with continuing to own and decided to invest in the renovation.
  • LDGC assisted the client in selecting the interior architect, the general contractor, and provided program management leadership from concept through to project closeout. During construction, LDGC acting as the Owner’s Representative ensuring the project stayed on track and budget. Our services included approval of payment applications, review and approval of change orders, collaboration with special designers for full video wall installation within a dedicated customer experience center, and approval and acceptance of spaces on behalf of client.
  • LDGC collaborated with the client’s facilities staff in several areas to ensure no interruptions to operations of the R&D lab; to ensure R&D managers that were located in the office space were able to have temporary offices on the first floor while construction occurred on the second floor; and we provided guidance on certain options during FF&E selections.

KEY BENEFITS & OUTCOMES

  • Quantifiable results achieved (e.g., percentage reduction in budget overruns, time saved on the project schedule, increase in project profitability, improved quality scores).
  • Birla Carbon reduced their footprint from 53,000sf to 29,000sf in tandem with a work-from-home policy that was initially instituted during the COVID-19 era. The reduction in occupied space allowed for up to 24,000sf on the first floor to be repositioned for leasing to third-party tenants.
  • Employee feedback after returning to the office has been described by employees in the following terms “Incredible; Futuristic; Ahead of its time; and Various work stations work amazingly well, based on mood and project type.”
  • Because the internal marketing and branding team was an integral part of the re-design of the workplace, they took the opportunity to provide key collaterals in specific locations for better internal branding and awareness by by all departments in a more uniform way.
  • Facilities Maintenance staff have greatly reduced their time dealing with issues on the office side and can now focus on more efficient and responsive customer resolutions in the Research & Development lab.
  • o Birla Carbon will now be able to monetize the un-used space on the first floor and are targeting a favorable ROI after accounting for landlord and tenant improvements.
